OK
By the way:
Is selling puts a way to profit from a stock going up without buying it?
And can you explain a little more e.g. I sold puts for DELL (Leaps) 2001 at 50 and I sold one for CMGI at 150 for 2001 and got money which I put into 25 more shares of CMGI. The brokerage holds out from my cash or margin (in my case of course margin) whatever money it would take daily to buy those back, should I want to. Do they go down in price as the stock goes up since noone would sell the stock to me at that price if the stock price is well above it????
Kind of like shorting, sort of?But "safer"
